Non-invasive temperature monitoring device

An apparatus for monitoring human status parameters, comprising:

• a module housing having a skin interface surface;
• a skin temperature sensor that generates data indicative of a skin temperature of a wearer, said skin temperature sensor mounted within said housing and in thermal communication with said skin of said wearer;
• a temperature sensor that generates data indicative of a temperature condition within a garment;
• a first processor in electronic communication with said sensors for (i) receiving at least a portion of said data indicative of the skin temperature of the wearer and said temperature condition within the garment and (ii) transmitting at least a portion of said data indicative of said temperatures of said wearer to a receiver unit;
• and
• a receiver unit having:
• a receiver for receiving said transmitted data indicative of said temperatures of said wearer;
• a second processor for generating a derived temperature-based parameter of said wearer;
• and
• data output means for communication of said derived temperature-based parameter of said wearer, wherein said data output means provides an indication of a status of at least one of:
• an event, an activity, and a body state.

A system for monitoring human status parameters, comprising:

• a housing comprising an insulated interface for a wearer's skin;
• a skin temperature sensor mounted on said housing that generates data indicative of the wearer's skin temperature at said insulated interface;
• a temperature sensor mounted on a side of the housing away from the wearer's skin that generates data indicative of a temperature within a diaper of the wearer surrounding the housing;
• and
• a processor in electronic communication with said sensors for receiving at a least a portion of said data indicative of the skin temperature of the wearer and said temperature in said diaper and for generating a status parameter of the wearer.
